Researchers Break Open SSL/TLS Decryption
Cynics say that the world runs on money, but money wouldn’t run as smoothly on the World Wide Web if it wasn’t for SSL/TLS. It’s the go-to encryption protocol for a lot of the Internet, and it’s supported by every major browser and many of the top websites around. But how secure is it? A pair of security researchers plan on demonstrating a serious TLS security flaw at the Ekoparty security conference later this week, and they plan on doing it with a bang: by decrypting a Paypal authentication cookie.
